What you'll bring to the team

 

If you’re the person everyone calls when something breaks — and you actually enjoy fixing it — keep reading.

 

This isn’t a sit-behind-a-desk maintenance role. You’ll be the one keeping rides running, solving real-time issues, and leading a team that keeps the entire attraction operational. From electrical troubleshooting to hands-on repairs, your work directly impacts the guest experience every single day.

 

Qualifications & Experience

⚙️ What You’ll Actually Be Doing

This role blends hands-on technical work + leadership — about 50/50:

  • Diagnose, repair, and maintain rides, attractions, and facility systems to keep downtime low
  • Lead and support a team of Technicians — scheduling, coaching, and developing their skills
  • Own preventative maintenance and make sure equipment is running safely and efficiently
  • Troubleshoot electrical, mechanical, AV, and facility issues in real time
  • Work with vendors (HVAC, electrical, plumbing) and oversee outside contractors
  • Jump in on everything from lighting and painting to equipment installs and repairs
  • Ensure safety, inspections, and compliance standards are always met

👉 Bottom line: If it keeps the attraction running, you’re involved.

🧰 What You Bring

We’re not looking for “just” a manager — we need a working lead:

  • Experience in maintenance, facilities, or technical operations (attractions, entertainment, or similar preferred)
  • Hands-on skills across areas like:
    • Electrical / mechanical systems
    • HVAC, plumbing, or general facilities
    • AV systems or automation (bonus)
  • Prior experience leading or mentoring a team (even informally)
  • Ability to troubleshoot quickly and stay calm under pressure
  • Someone who takes pride in fixing things the right way
